Lahti's push for a European place took a step backwards with a 1-0 home defeat to KuPs. They are now 12 points behind leaders Helsinki with one game in hand. Other teams are breathing down Lahti's neck and if they lose in the next round of games could drop to fourth. This is a possibility as they are away on Wednesday to the leaders HJK. A real 6 pointer and a game you fell Lahti must win.
